6.1.4 Delivering Short Message(s) as an Instant Message
6.1.4.1 General
This section describes the procedure when the IP-SM-GW located in the terminating network interworks Short Message(s) to an Instant Message.
IP-SM-GW procedures at the reception of the Short Message are described in subclause 6.1.4.2.
The creation of the IM is described in subclause 6.1.4.3.
The creation of the Short Message delivery report is described in subclause 6.1.4.4.
6.1.4.2 Receiving of SMS-DELIVER
When the IP-SM-GW in the terminating networks receives a Short Message from the SMS-GMSC, it shall:
1) determine if service level interworking is needed for the served user (in SM-RP-DA), i.e. if the served user is subscribed for service level interworking and if multiple options are available to deliver the Short Message, then user preference or operator policy indicates priority to receive a Short Messages as an Instant Message; and
2) determine if service level interworking is allowed for the received Short Message. Annex A specifies the transfer protocol level criteria that disallow service level interworking.
The procedure when service level interworking is not allowed is described in subclause 6.1.4.5
If service level interworking for the received SM is not needed, the IP-SM-GW shall:
a) attempt to deliver the Short Message over CS/PS;
b) perform transport level interworking, as described in 3GPP TS 24.341 [5]; or
c) create a delivery report indicating failure.
If the received Short Message is the first segment of the concatenated Short Message and the IP-SM-GW decides to use service level interworking, the IP-SM-GW shall store and acknowledge all segments except the last segment of the concatenated Short Message. When the IP-SM-GW receives the last segment of the concatenated Short Message and the full length of the received concatenated Short Message in Instant Message format is less than the allowed message length of an Instant Message, the IP-SM-GW shall create an Instant Message that includes the concatenated Short Message in accordance with subclause 6.1.4.3.1.
NOTE: The allowed message length of an Instant Message is defined in IETF RFC 3428 [8].
If the message length of the user generated Short Messages in IM format is greater than the allowed message length of an Instant Message and the IM user has registered the capability to receive Instant Messages, the procedure shall be in accordance with subclause 6.1.4.3.2.
6.1.4.3 Sending of Instant Message
6.1.4.3.1 Sending of the Instant Message in a SIP MESSAGE request
After receiving either a single Short Message within a MT_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE or a full set of concatenated Short Messages not exceeding the size limit of a SIP MESSAGE request based Instant Message that is to be delivered as an Instant Message, the IP-SM-GW shall send a SIP MESSAGE request applying the related procedures for an AS acting as an originating UA as defined in subclause 5.7.3 in 3GPP TS 24.229 [3]. In addition, the IP-SM-GW shall include in the SIP MESSAGE request:
a) the Request URI set to a Tel URI or a SIP URI corresponding to the MSISDN of the recipient. The IMSI received in the SM-RP-DA in the MT_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE which corresponds to the MT Correlation ID previously created when the SRI message was received, is used to obtain the MSISDN;
b) the P-Asserted Identity header field set to a Tel URI based on TP-OA parameter received in MT_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE (SMS-DELIVER);
c) the appropriate MIME type(s) in the Content-Type header field;
d) an Accept-Contact header field with the IM feature-tag "+g.oma.sip-im";
e) a User-Agent header field to indicate the IM release version as specified in OMA-TS-SIMPLE_IM [4];
f) a Request-Disposition header field with the value "no-queue", as specified in IETF RFC 3841 [13], in order to ensure the SIP MESSAGE request is not queued for delivery if the recipient is temporarily unreachable; and
g) the contents of the Body set to the contents of the Short Message(s) formatted in appropriate MIME type based on received content in SM.
The IP-SM-GW shall send the SIP MESSAGE request to the S-CSCF.
6.1.4.3.2 Sending of a large Instant Message
After receiving a full set of concatenated Short Messages exceeding the size limit of a SIP MESSAGE request based Instant Message, the IP-SM-GW shall send a SIP INVITE request applying the related procedures for an AS acting as an originating UA as defined in subclause 5.7.3 in 3GPP TS 24.229 [3]. In addition, the IP-SM-GW shall include in the SIP INVITE request:
a) an Accept-Contact header field with the IM feature-tags "+g.oma.sip-im" and "+g.oma.sip-im.large-message";
b) a User-Agent header field to indicate the IM release version as specified in OMA-TS-SIMPLE_IM [4];
c) in the Contact header field, the IM feature-tag "+g.oma.sip-im";
d) the Request-URI set to the public user identity deduced from the information in SM-RP-DA;
e) the P-Asserted Identity header field set to a Tel URI based on TP-OA parameter received in MT_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE;
f) a Request-Disposition header field with the value "no-queue", as specified in IETF RFC 3841 [13], in order to ensure that the SIP INVITE request is not queued for delivery if the recipient is temporarily unreachable; and
g) in the SDP, the direction attribute set to a=sendonly as described in OMA-TS-SIMPLE_IM [4].
The IP-SM-GW shall send the SIP INVITE request to the S-CSCF.
Upon receipt of a SIP 2xx response to the SIP INVITE request, the IP-SM-GW shall send MSRP SEND request(s) containing the content of the concatenated Short Messages as described in OMA-TS-SIMPLE_IM [4].
Upon receipt of corresponding response for the last chunk of the MSRP SEND request, e.g. a MSRP 200, the IP-SM-GW shall generated a SIP BYE request to release the session as in 3GPP TS 24.229 [3].
6.1.4.4 Sending of SMS-DELIVER-REPORT
6.1.4.4.1 Common Procedures
If the IP-SM-GW decided to send SMS-DELIVER-REPORT, it shall send the MT-FORWARD-SHORT-MESSAGE-ACK message to the SMS-GMSC in accordance with 3GPP TS 29.002 [7] and 3GPP TS 23.040 [2] with the following information:
– Invoke Id parameter set in accordance with 3GPP TS 29.002 [7];
– if the received SIP response is not a SIP 2xx response, then the value of the User error parameter shall be mapped from the SIP response Status Code as described in Table 6.1.4.4.1.1;
NOTE 1: If the received SIP response is a SIP 2xx response then the User error parameter is not contained in the MT-FORWARD-SHORT-MESSAGE-ACK message.

6.1.4.6 Retry after unsuccessful delivery of Short Message
If the IP-SM-GW receives an error response when delivering a Short Message in one domain (circuit switched domain, packet switched domain or IMS domain), then based on operator policy, the IP-SM-GW shall attempt to deliver the Short Message in the next domain in its sequence of priority for retries.
If all retries fail, the IP-SM-GW shall send a MT-FORWARD-SHORT-MESSAGE-ACK message to the SMS-GMSC in accordance with 3GPP TS 29.002 [7] and 3GPP TS 23.040[2] and a REPORT-SM-DELIVERY- STATUS message to the HLR/HSS as described in 3GPP TS 29.002 [7].
6.1.5 Delivering an Instant Message as a (concatenated) Short Message in the terminating network
6.1.5.1 General
This section describes the procedure when the IP-SM-GW located in the terminating network interworks an Instant Message to Short Message(s).
IP-SM-GW procedures at the reception of the IM are described in subclause 6.1.5.2.
The creation and the delivery of a Short Message or concatenated Short Messages are described in subclause 6.1.5.3.
IP-SM-GW procedures at the reception of the Short Message delivery report are described in subclause 6.1.5.4.
The creation of delivery notification is described in subclause 6.1.5.5.
NOTE: Interworking for Large Message mode messaging as defined in OMA-TS-SIMPLE_IM [4] is out of scope of this specification.
6.1.5.2 Receiving of the Instant Message in a SIP MESSAGE request
Upon receipt of a SIP MESSAGE request including an Instant Message in the terminating side, the IP-SM-GW shall:
1) check the recipient user’s preferences, the current UE capability and operator policy before delivering the message. If operator policy mandates interworking or the recipient’s preference is to receive an Instant Message as a Short Message over CS/PS, the IP-SM-GW shall deliver the Instant Message as a Short Message over CS/PS. If the UE of the Instant Message recipient is capable of accepting SMSIP MESSAGE as defined in 3GPP TS 24.341 [5] and operator policy mandates interworking or the recipient’s preference is to receive the message as a Short Message as a Short Message over IMS, the IP-SM-GW shall deliver the Instant Message as a Short Message over IMS; and
2) check if it is possible to interwork the IM to an SM.
If the IP-SM-GW decided to interwork the IM to a Short Message (or concatenated Short Messages) the IP-SM-GW shall:
1) if the CPIM body of the received SIP MESSAGE request includes a Disposition-Notification header field with value "positive-delivery" or "negative-delivery" (i.e. the IM sender requests the Instant Message Delivery Notification) then store the values of the MESSAGE-ID Header contained in the CPIM body; and
2) proceed as described in subclause 6.1.5.3.
6.1.5.3 Sending of SMS-DELIVER (over CS/PS or IP)
6.1.5.3.1 General
Upon receipt of an Instant Message that is to be delivered as a Short Message over CS/PS, the IP-SM-GW shall query the routing information from HSS as described in subclause 6.1.3.2 then send the MT_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE to the MSC or SGSN as described in 3GPP TS 29.002 [7] and 3GPP TS 23.040 [2]. The MT_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE shall be set as described in subclauses 6.1.5.3.2 and 6.1.5.3.3.
Upon receipt of an Instant Message that is to be delivered as a Short Message over IMS, the IP-SM-GW shall send the SMSIP MESSAGE containing RP-DATA message in the body to the S-CSCF as described in 3GPP TS 24.341 [5] and 3GPP TS 24.011 [9]. The SMSIP MESSAGE shall be set as described in subsclauses 6.1.5.3.2 and 6.1.5.3.4.
6.1.5.3.2 Common Procedures
Both the SM-RP-UI parameter of the MT_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE and the RP-User Data element of the RP-DATA message in the SMSIP MESSAGE body shall be set to SMS-DELIVER. And the elements of SMS-DELIVER message shall be set in accordance with 3GPP TS 23.040 [2], with the following information:
a) TP-MTI element set to 00 (SMS-DELIVER);
b) TP-MMS element set in accordance with 3GPP TS 23.040 [2];
NOTE 1: For example, for concatenated Short Messages, TP-MMS would be set to 0 while there are more messages to send.
c) TP-RP element set to 0 (TP-Reply-Path parameter is not set in this SMS-DELIVER);
d) TP-UDHI element set in accordance with 3GPP TS 23.040 [2];
e) TP-SRI element shall be set to 1, if the SIP MESSAGE request contains in a CPIM body a Disposition-Notification header field with the value of "positive-delivery" or "negative-delivery" (i.e. the SIP MESSAGE request sender requests the Instant Message Delivery Notification). Otherwise, the TP-SRI element shall be set to 0;
f) if the SIP MESSAGE request contains the privacy header with "header" or "user" or "id" and the operator policy allows sending of anonymous SMS, the value of TP-OA element set to an anonymous value. Setting an address field to an anonymous value is described in annex B. If the SIP MESSAGE request does not contain the privacy header, the value of the TP-OA element set based on the value of the P-Asserted-Identity header field in the Instant Message if the P-Asserted-Identity header field contains a E.164 address;
NOTE 2: If no E.164 address is present in the P-Asserted-Identity header field, the value of the TP-OA element will be implementation dependant.
g) TP-PID element set to 00000000 (SME-to-SME protocol);
h) TP-DCS element set in accordance with 3GPP TS 23.040 [2];
i) TP-SCTS element set to time when the IP-SM-GW received the Instant Message;
j) TP-UDL element set in accordance with 3GPP TS 23.040 [2]; and
k) TP-UD element set based on the content of Instant Message body.
If the content of the body in Short Message format is greater than the allowed message length of a Short Message, then the IP-SM-GW shall send concatenated Short Messages.
NOTE 3: In case of receiving MT_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE_ACK message with the SM-RP-UI parameter set to value SMS-DELIVER-REPORT, containing the User error parameter for one segment of the concatenated Short Message, the default action of the IP-SM-GW is not to send any remaing segment.
3GPP TS 23.040 [2] specifies that a Short Message supports GSM 7-bit and UCS2 encoded text while an Instant Message may support different text types as defined in 3GPP TS 26.141 [16]. The IP-SM-GW shall reformat the received Instant Message text into an appropriate text type supported for Short Messages.
6.1.5.3.3 Sending of SMS-DELIVER over CS/PS
The parameters of the MT_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE shall be set as described in 3GPP TS 29.002 [7], with the following information:
– Invoke-ID parameter set in accordance with 3GPP TS 29.002 [7];
– SM-RP-DA element set to the address associated with the SIP MESSAGE request receiver;
– SM-RP-OA element set to the address of the IP-SM-GW;
– More Messages To Send parameter set in accordance with 3GPP TS 29.002 [7]; and

6.1.5.6 Retry after unsuccessful delivery of Short Message
If the IP-SM-GW receives an error response when delivering a Short Message in one domain (circuit switched domain, packet switched domain or IMS domain), then based on operator policy, the IP-SM-GW shall attempt to deliver the Short Message in the next domain in its sequence of priority for retries.
If all retries fail, the IP-SM-GW shall send a REPORT-SM-DELIVERY-STATUS message to the HLR/HSS as described in 3GPP TS 29.002 [7].
6.1.5.7 Error handling when interworking from Instant Message to Short Message is not possible
When interworking is needed but is not possible, the IP-SM-GW shall send one of the following error responses to the sender of the Instant Message:
– If the error is because none of the content in the SIP MESSAGE request is interworkable to a Short Message, then the IP-SM-GW shall send a SIP 415 (Unsupported Media Type) response and shall include an Accept header field listing the types of text media supported by SM as described in 3GPP TS 26.141 [16]. For service level interworking of Instant Message to Short Message, only text shall be supported.
– Otherwise a SIP 488 (Not Acceptable Here) response shall be returned.
6.1.5.8 Partial interworking from Instant Message to Short Message
If an Instant Message contains other media than text content, the IP-SM-GW may remove the unsupported content.
Based on Operator policy the IP-SM-GW may insert text warning the receiver that non-text content has been removed from the message.
6.1.6 Submitting an Instant Message as a (concatenated) Short Message in the originating network
6.1.6.1 General
This section describes the procedure when the IP-SM-GW located in the originating network interworks an Instant Message to a Short Message.
IP-SM-GW procedures at the reception of the IM are described in subclause 6.1.6.2.
The creation of a (concatenated) Short Message is described in subclause 6.1.6.3.
IP-SM-GW procedures at the reception of the Short Message submit report are described in subclause 6.1.6.4.
IP-SM-GW procedures at the reception of the Short Message status report are described in subclause 6.1.6.5.
The creation of delivery notification is described in subclause 6.1.6.6.
NOTE: Interworking for Large Message mode messaging as defined in OMA-TS-SIMPLE_IM [4] is out of scope of this specification.
6.1.6.2 Receiving of the Instant Message in a SIP MESSAGE request
Upon receipt of a SIP MESSAGE request including an Instant Message, the IP-SM-GW shall attempt service level interworking if operator policy mandates interworking or the IP-SM-GW cannot find a SIP address for the recipient.
If IP-SM-GW determined that service level interworking needed, then the IP-SM-GW shall:
1) check if the message originator is authorized for service level interworking; and
NOTE: It can be assumed that all subscribers are authorized for service level interworking if interworking is mandated by operator policy.
2) check if the service level interworking is possible.
If IP-SM-GW decided to submit the Instant Message as a Short Message, then the IP-SM-GW shall:
1) respond with a SIP 202 (Accepted) response in accordance with 3GPP TS 24.229 [3];
2) store the values of the Request-URI, the P-Asserted-Identity header field and the MESSAGE-ID Header contained in the CPIM body, if the received SIP MESSAGE request includes a CPIM body and a Disposition-Notification header field with value "positive-delivery" or "negative-delivery" (i.e. the SIP MESSAGE request sender requests the Instant Message Delivery Notification); and
3) proceed as described in subclause 6.1.6.3.
6.1.6.3 Sending of SMS-SUBMIT over CS/PS
To submit a Short Message to the SC, the IP-SM-GW shall send MO_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE as described in 3GPP TS 29.002 [7] and 3GPP TS 23.040 [2]. In addition, for the information elements listed below, the following interworking procedures shall apply:
– Invoke-ID parameter set in accordance with 3GPP TS 29.002 [7];
– SM-RP-DA parameter set to the address of user’s home network Service Centre configured in the IP-SM-GW, or retrieved as part of the subscriber data from the HSS at registration by the IP-SM-GW;
– if the SIP MESSAGE request contains the Privacy header field with "header" or "user" or "id" and the operator policy allows sending of anonymous Short Message, the value of SM-RP-OA parameter shall be set to an anonymous value. Setting an address field to an anonymous value is described in annex B. If the SIP MESSAGE request does not contain the Privacy header field, the value of the SM-RP-OA parameter shall be set based on the value of the P-Asserted-Identity header field or the address retrieved as part of the subscriber data from the HSS at registration by the IP-SM-GW;
– SM-RP-UI parameter set to SMS-SUBMIT; and
– the elements of the SMS-SUBMIT message shall be set as described in 3GPP TS 23.040 [2] subclause 9.2.2, with the following information:
a) TP-MTI element set to 01 (SMS-SUBMIT);
b) TP-RD element set to 1 (Instruct the SC to reject an SMS SUBMIT for an SM still held in the SC which has the same TP MR and the same TP DA as the previously submitted SM from the same OA.);
c) if the SIP MESSAGE request contains an Expires header field with a non-zero value, the value of TP VPF element shall be set according to the TP VP element. Otherwise, the value of TP VPF element shall be set to 00 (TP VP field not present);
d) TP VP element set based on the Expires header field value and the optional Date header field value;
e) TP-UDHI element set in accordance with 3GPP TS 23.040 [2];
f) if the SIP MESSAGE request contains in a CPIM body a Disposition-Notification header field with the value of "positive-delivery" or "negative-delivery" (i.e. the SIP MESSAGE request sender requests the Instant Message Delivery Notification), the value of TP SRR element shall be set to 1 (A status report is requested), Otherwise, the value of TP-SRR element shall be set to 0 (A status report is not requested);
g) TP-MR element set in accordance with 3GPP TS 23.040 [2];
h) TP-RP element set to 0 (TP Reply Path parameter is not set in this SMS SUBMIT);
i) TP-DA element set based on the value of the Request-URI in the Instant Message as long as the Request-URI contains a E.164 address;
j) TP-PI element set to 00000000 (SME-to-SME protocol);
k) TP-DCS element set in accordance with 3GPP TS 23.040 [2];
l) TP-UDL element set in accordance with 3GPP TS 23.040 [2]; and
m) TP-UD element set based on the content of Instant Message body.
If the content of the body in Short Message format is greater than the allowed message length of a Short Message, then the IP-SM-GW shall send concatenated Short Messages.
NOTE: In case of receiving MO_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE_ACK message with the SM-RP-UI parameter set to value SMS-SUBMIT-REPORT, containing the User error parameter for one segment of the concatenated Short Message, the default action of the IP-SM-GW is not to send any remaing segment.
3GPP TS 23.040 [2] specifies that a Short Message supports GSM 7-bit and UCS2 encoded text while an Instant Message may support different text types as defined in 3GPP TS 26.141 [16]. The IP-SM-GW shall reformat the received Instant Message text into an appropriate text type supported for Short Messages.
6.1.6.4 Receiving of SMS-SUBMIT-REPORT
Upon receipt of MO_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE_ACK with the SM-RP-UI parameter set to value SMS-SUBMIT-REPORT, not containing the User error parameter, and if the associated SIP MESSAGE request received before contains in a CPIM body a Disposition-Notification header field with value "positive-delivery" or "negative-delivery" (i.e. the SIP MESSAGE request sender requests the Instant Message Delivery Notification), the IP-SM-GW shall store the value of TP Service Centre Time Stamp element.
Upon receipt of MO_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE_ACK with the SM-RP-UI parameter set to value SMS-SUBMIT-REPORT, containing the User error parameter, and if the associated SIP MESSAGE request received before contains in a CPIM body a Disposition-Notification header field with value "negative-delivery", the IP-SM-GW shall send the Instant Message Delivery Notification with a "failed" indication to the associated SIP MESSAGE request sender. If the associated SIP MESSAGE request received before was delivered as concatenated Short Messages as described in subclause 6.1.6.3, and one of the MO_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE_ACK for the concatenated Short Messages contains the User error parameter, the IP-SM-GW shall send the Instant Message Delivery Notification with a "failed" indication to the associated SIP MESSAGE request sender.
6.1.6.5 Receiving of SMS-STATUS-REPORT
Upon receipt of a MT_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE with the SM-RP-UI parameter set to value of SMS-STATUS-REPORT, the IP-SM-GW shall:
– retrieve the TP-Service-Centre-Time-Stamp and TP-Recipient-Address, then find the associated SIP MESSAGE request instance containing the stored TP-Service-Center-Time-Stamp and SM-RP-Originating Address element with the same value; and
– if the SMS-STATUS-REPORT matchs one associated SIP MESSAGE request, send an Instant Message Delivery Notification or discard the SMS-STATUS-REPORT as described in Table 6.1.6.5.1; or
– wait for the last SMS-STATUS-REPORT, if the associated SIP MESSAGE request was delivered as concatenated Short Messages as described in subclause 6.1.6.3. If all SMS-STATUS-REPORTs for concatenated Short Messages contains the TP-Status element set to "00000000" and the associated SIP MESSAGE request contains in a CPIM body a Disposition-Notification header field with value "positive-delivery", the IP-SM-GW shall send the Instant Message Delivery Notification with a "delivered" indication to the associated SIP MESSAGE request sender. If at least one of SMS-STATUS-REPORT for concatenated Short Messages contains the TP-Status element set between "00000001" and "00011111" or between "01000000" and "11111111", and the associated SIP MESSAGE request contains in a CPIM body a Disposition-Notification header field with value "negative-delivery", the IP-SM-GW shall send the Instant Message Delivery Notification with a "failed" indication to the associated SIP MESSAGE request sender.

a) the Request-URI shall contain a public user identity of the stored sender identity of the associated SIP MESSAGE request;
b) the P-Asserted-Identity header field shall be set to the value of the stored Request-URI of the associated SIP MESSAGE request;
c) the Accept-Contact header field shall be set with the IM feature tag "+g.oma.sip-im";
d) the User-Agent header field which shall be set with the IM release version as specified in OMA-TS-SIMPLE_IM [4];
e) the Content-Type header field shall contain "message/imdn+xml"; and
f) the body of the request shall contain a CPIM message as defined in OMA-TS-SIMPLE_IM [4], including the following information:
– the <message-id> XML element of the IMDN payload shall be set to the value of the stored Message-ID Header in the CPIM body of the associated SIP MESSAGE request; and
– the <disposition> XML element of the IMDN payload shall be set to <delivery/>.
6.1.6.7 Error handling when interworking from Instant Message to Short Message is not possible
When interworking is needed but is not possible, the IP-SM-GW shall send one of the following error responses to the sender of the Instant Message:
– If the error is because none of the content in the SIP MESSAGE request is interworkable to a Short Message, then the IP-SM-GW shall send a SIP 415 (Unsupported Media Type) response and shall also include an Accept header field listing the types of text media supported by SM as described in 3GPP TS 26.141 [16]. For service level interworking of Instant Message to Short Message, only text shall be supported.
– Otherwise a SIP 488 (Not Acceptable Here) response shall be returned.
6.1.6.8 Partial interworking from Instant Message to Short Message
If an Instant Message contains other media than text content, the IP-SM-GW may remove the unsupported content.
Based on Operator policy the IP-SM-GW may insert text warning the receiver that non-text content has been removed from the message.
6.1.7 Receiving of the Chat Session invitation request in the terminating network
6.1.7.1 Receiving of the Chat Session SIP INVITE request
Upon receipt of a SIP INVITE request addressed to an SMS user, the IP-SM-GW shall assign an MSISDN to be used by the SMS user for the duration of this Chat session to reach the sender of the SIP INVITE request.
If the SIP INVITE request contains the Privacy header field with "header" or "user" or "id" and the operator policy allows this, the originator’s identity shall not be revealed to the SMS user for this Chat Session.
If operator policy mandates the SMS user to be informed of the Chat Session invitation, the IP-SM-GW shall proceed with the procedures in subclauses 6.1.7.2, 6.1.7.3 and 6.1.7.4. Otherwise the IP-SM-GW shall proceed with the procedures in subclause 6.1.7.5.
6.1.7.2 Sending of the SMS-DELIVER (over CS/PS or IP)
Upon receipt of a SIP INVITE request that is to be delivered as a Short Message, the IP-SM-GW:
1) may attempt to deliver Chat Session invitation request as SMS over IP, if operator policy sets SMS over IP as highest priority for delivery attempts. If this attempt succeeds, then the IP-SM-GW shall skip subsequent steps;
2) shall query the routing information from HSS as described in subclause 6.1.3.2; and
3) if routing information is available (SGSN and/or MSC address), the IP-SM-GW shall attempt the delivery of a Short Message over IP, over CS, and PS. The priority order of these attempts is an operator policy.
For the delivery of a Chat Session invitation request as a Short Message over CS/PS, the IP-SM-GW shall send a MT_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE to the MSC or SGSN as described in 3GPP TS 29.002 [7] and 3GPP TS 23.040 [2]. The parameters of the MT_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE shall be set as described in subclauses 6.1.18.3.1 and 6.1.18.3.2.
For the delivery of a Chat Session invitation request as a Short Message over IP, the IP-SM-GW shall send an SMSIP MESSAGE containing RP-DATA message in the body to the S-CSCF as described in 3GPP TS 24.341 [5] and 3GPP TS 24.011 [9]. In addition parameters of the SMSIP MESSAGE shall be set as described in subsclauses 6.1.18.3.1 and 6.1.7.2.4.
For every attempt the TP-UD element shall contain operator defined data that should convey information to the SMS user that he is invited to send and receive messages in the context of a Chat Session, and include for example, instructions on how to accept, reject and leave the session. Since the TP-OA element is set to an MSISDN assigned by the IP-SM-GW the MSISDN of the original sender shall be included in the information sent to the SMS user unless the SIP INVITE request contains the Privacy header field with "header" or "user" or "id" and the operator policy allows this. For a one-to-one Chat Session, the original sender is carried in the P-Asserted-Identity header field of the SIP INVITE request, and for a group Chat Session, the original sender is carried in the Referred-By header field.
6.1.7.3 Receiving of SMS-DELIVER-REPORT (over CS/PS or IP)
6.1.7.3.1 Receiving of SMS-DELIVER-REPORT over CS/PS
Upon receipt of an MT_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE_ACK message with the SM-RP-UI parameter set to value SMS-DELIVER-REPORT, and if the associated SIP INVITE request received before was delivered as a single Short Message, the IP-SM-GW shall:
– proceed with the procedures in subclause 6.1.7.4; or
– attempt deliver the Short Message in the next domains as specified in subclause 6.1.7.2, if the MT_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE_ACK message contains the User error parameter. If all retries fail, the IP-SM-GW shall send a SIP 4xx or SIP 5xx response to the associated SIP INVITE request. The SIP response to be sent is determined by examining the value of the User error parameter. Table 6.1.5.4.1.1 specifies the mapping of the User error parameter as described in 3GPP TS 29.002 [7], to SIP response Status-Codes. If the IP-SM-GW associated a specific MSISDN for the Chat Session, then the IP-SM-GW shall release that MSISDN.
Upon receipt of an MT_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE_ACK message with the SM-RP-UI parameter set to value SMS-DELIVER-REPORT, and if the associated SIP INVITE request received before was delivered as concatenated Short Messages, the IP-SM-GW shall wait for the last MT_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE_ACK message. Then the IP-SM-GW shall:
– proceed with the procedures in subclause 6.1.7.4, if none of the MT_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE_ACK messages contains the User error parameter; or
– attempt to deliver the Short Message in the next domains as specified in subclause 6.1.7.2, if at least one of the MT_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE_ACK messages contains the User error parameter. If all retries fail, the IP-SM-GW shall send a SIP 4xx or SIP 5xx response to the associated SIP INVITE request. The SIP response to be sent is determined by examining the value of the User error parameter. Table 6.1.5.4.1.1 specifies the mapping of the User error parameter as described in 3GPP TS 29.002 [7], to SIP response Status-Codes. If the IP-SM-GW associated a specific MSISDN for the Chat Session, then the IP-SM-GW shall release that MSISDN.

Upon receipt of one or more MSRP SEND requests,which constitute one chat message, the IP-SM-GW shall proceed with the procedures in subclauses 6.1.11.2, 6.1.11.3 and 6.1.11.4.
6.1.11.2 Sending of the SMS-DELIVER (over CS/PS or IP)
Upon receipt of one or more MSRP SEND request(s), which constitute one chat message that is to be delivered as a Short Message, the IP-SM-GW:
1) may attempt to deliver the MSRP SEND request(s) as SMS over IP, if operator policy sets SMS over IP as highest priority for delivery attempts. If this attempt succeeds, then the IP-SM-GW shall skip subsequent steps;
2) shall query the routing information from HSS as described in subclause 6.1.3.2; and,
3) if routing information is available (SGSN and/or MSC address), the IP-SM-GW shall attempt the delivery of a Short Message over IP, over CS, and PS. The priority order of these attempts is an operator policy.
For the delivery of a chat message, received in one or more MSRP SEND requests as a Short Message over CS/PS, the IP-SM-GW shall send a MT_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE to the MSC/SGSN as described in 3GPP TS 29.002 [7] and 3GPP TS 23.040 [2].

The IP-SM-GW, acting as CPM Client on behalf of the SMS user, shall subscribe to receive Participant Information as described in OMA-TS-CPM_Conv_Fnct [17].
6.1.17.3 Receiving of a Participant Information Notification
When the IP-SM-GW receives a SIP NOTIFY request that is part of the same SIP dialog as the previously sent SIP SUBSCRIBE request for subscribing to Participant Information, the IP-SM-GW shall follow the procedures in OMA-TS-CPM_Conv_Fnct [17] with the following exception:
– to display the current Participant Information of the group Chat Session to the SMS user the IP-SM-GW shall proceed with the procedure in subclause 6.1.17.4 when interworking in the terminating network; and
– to display the current Participant Information of the group Chat Session to the SMS user the IP-SM-GW shall proceed with the procedures in subclause 6.1.17.5 when interworking in the originating network.
The frequency of sending Participant Information to the SMS user is subject to operator policy.
6.1.17.4 Sending Participant Information as SMS-Deliver when interworking in the terminating network
To deliver Participant Information to the SMS user when interworking in the terminating network the IP-SM-GW:
1) may attempt to deliver the Participant Information as SMS over IP, if operator policy sets SMS over IP as highest priority for delivery attempts. If this attempt succeeds, then the IP-SM-GW shall skip subsequent steps;
2) shall query the routing information from HSS as described in subclause 6.1.3.2; and
3) if routing information is available (SGSN and/or MSC address), the IP-SM-GW shall attempt the delivery of a Short Message over IP, over CS, and PS. The priority order of these attempts is an operator policy.
For the delivery Participant Information as a Short Message over CS/PS, the IP-SM-GW shall send a MT_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE to the MSC or SGSN as described in 3GPP TS 29.002 [7] and 3GPP TS 23.040 [2]. The parameters of the MT_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE shall be set as described in subclauses 6.1.18.3.1 and 6.1.18.3.2. In addition the TP-UD element shall contain operator defined data that conveys Participant Information (e.g. users who have joined or left) to the SMS user.
For the delivery of Participant Information as a Short Message over IP, the IP-SM-GW shall send a SIP MESSAGE request containing RP-DATA message in the body to the S-CSCF as described in 3GPP TS 24.341 [5] and 3GPP TS 24.011 [9]. In addition parameters of the SMSIP MESSAGE shall be set as described in subsclauses 6.1.18.3.1 and 6.1.18.3.3. In addition the TP-UD element shall contain operator defined data that conveys Participant Information (e.g. users who have joined or left) to the SMS user.
The IP-SM-GW shall proceed with receiving of an SMS-DELIVER-REPORT in accordance with 3GPP TS 23.040 [2]. If this MT_FORWARD_SHORT_MESSAGE_ACK contains the User error parameter the IP-SM-GW shall attempt to deliver in the next domains as specified in subclause 6.1.7.3 for a Chat Session INVITE request. No further procedures are defined on reception of the SMS-DELIVER-REPORT as interworking of this message is not required for Participant Information.
6.1.17.5 Sending Participant Information as SMS-SUBMIT when interworking in the originating network
To deliver Participant Information to the SMS user when interworking in the originating network the IP-SM-GW shall submit a Short Message to the SMS-SC as described in subclause 6.1.18.4. In addition the TP-UD element shall contain operator defined data that conveys Participant Information (e.g. users who have joined or left) to the SMS user.
The IP-SM-GW shall proceed with receiving of an SMS-SUBMIT-REPORT in accordance with 3GPP TS 23.040 [2]. No further procedures are defined on reception of the SMS-SUBMIT-REPORT as interworking of this message is not required for Participant Information.
6.1.18 Common procedures for chat session interworking
6.1.18.1 Determining if a received Short Message is associated to a Chat Session
When the IP-SM-GW receives a Short Message from the SMS-GMSC, it shall determine if the message is associated with a Chat Session. The received Short Message is associated with a Chat Session if:
1) the Short Message is addressed to the MSISDN assigned to the Chat Session, as described in subclauses 6.1.7.1 and 6.1.8.1; and
2) the originator of the Short Message is the SM user invited to the Chat Session using that MSISDN.
6.1.18.2 Leaving a Chat Session
After sending the SMS-DELIVER-REPORT for the Chat Session teardown request the IP-SM-GW shall send a SIP BYE request to leave a group Chat Session or to tear down a one-to-one Chat Session as described in OMA-TS-CPM_System_Description [20].
If the IP-SM-GW associated a specific MSISDN for the Chat Session, then the IP-SM-GW shall release that MSISDN.
